Written for the Carpe Diem Challenge #16: write a Tan Renga.
Tan Renga is a two stanza poem with 5-7-5 and 7-7 syllables (5-7-5-7-7). Unlike a Tanka written by one poet, Tan Renga is written by two. Poet One writes the 5-7-5 and Poet Two completes 7-7.

It is similar to a Tanka — both 5-7-5-7-7 — but this one takes two poets to complete! It is a fun challenge! You might try following the link to learn more; and better yet, participate!
Thank you for your visit and feedback.
